Thousands ' of weak-lunged, There Was a nice production for a tired ship-captain to receive at the close of a rather worrying day l It ended abruptly, Without signature of any kind, the usual vulgar noms de guerre of anonymous letter-writers, such as “A Friend” or “A Well- wisher,” being despised by my cor- .espondcnt. This fact, in conjunc~ tion with the earnest tone of the language, which was at least that of a person of education, weighed with me in his favor, and made me disposed to credit the writer with genuine motives. At any rate the letter did not emanate from a jeal- ous or quarrelsome fellow-servant of the man attacked. ' We should not be off Barcelona till late on the following night, so I de- cided to sleep on the matter before coming to a conclusion how to act. Our course, which in any case lay close to the northern Spanish port, would not have to be altered till the last moment in the event of my wishing to run in, and there would therefore be no need for any one to know that we were going to touch there till after every one but the watch on deck had retired to rest. As to the letter itself, I recognized from the. first that it Would be use- less .to puzzle over its origin. It Was too carefully disguised to admit of the handwriting being traced, and it was not likely that the person who placed it on my table Would have entered my room while any one was looking. All I had to do was to decide whether or no to heed the warning. In the morning, as often happens when one goes to bed with seine knotty’ question in doubt, I awoke with a settled mind. I would adopt the mysterious writer’s suggestion, and land Enriquez at Barcelona, and the argument was the principal, nay, the only one in the letter-that if there was no- thing wrong about the man he would be the last to complain. Any- how, it would be better than run- ning risks, and as ‘we Were not steaming on time the delay of an hour or so would hai'mino one. All that day We steered north- eastwards under the coast of Spain, running in near enough to give the passengers a view of the ruined Moorish castles and nestling vil- lages among the vine-clad slopes. Fine weather still prevailed, and Aline and her companion emerged from their brief retirement, Mrs. llrinkworth being evidently grateful for the universal kindness that ig- nored her connection with Orlebar. In looking over my priv-ate log of the voyage I find that two items pertinent to the story are entered under that day's date, though at the time they seemed of such slight ini- portance that it is only by chance that I recorded them. One was that General Waldo Was confined to his state-room with an attack of gout, and would see no one but his bod- reom-steward-not even the doctor, who of course proffered his services. The other item was that the young Earl of Darranmore, while skylark- ing as usual on deck after break- fart, had another fainting-fit very like the first, except that it lasted longer, and left him much more prostrate. Zavertal was most assi- duous in his attentions to the lad, and brought him round in time to take his place at the dinner table. At eleven o’clock that night, when the ladies had all gone to that preVailed . their in the smoking-room, I calculated that we were about twenty liilles south of Barcelona, steering so as to pass that port at a distance of three miles. In order to run for the harbor,the course would have to be altered in half an hour, and I Went 11p on to the bridge to be ready for the emergency. It was Mr. McIn- tyre, the chief oflicer’s watch, and I felt pretty sure that that impertur~ able Scotchnian would execute any orders I might give him, without troulbling himself about reasons. It was as I expected. After a turn or two on the bridge, I said quite quietly, and with the air of having forgotten something that didn't much inatter,â€" "By the way, Mr. McIntyre, keep her oll‘ a point or two nor-west, please, and harbor. I want to send ashore with a telegram.” “Aye, aye, sir,” was the uncoiij corned reply, and he gave the re- quisite order to the man at the wheel without comment. To keep his mind from dwelling too much on the sudden order, I broached _~ the subject of some painting that had to be done before reaching Genoa, and conversation on the bridge of a large steamer approaching a crowded port being necessarily disjointed, the topic lasted us till the ship was in the bay and within half a mile of |the town. Not Wishing to disturb the passen- gers and waste time by dropping anchor, I gave orders to lay to and have a boat manned, intiinating that I would go in her myself. Not till she was reported ready did I des- cend from the bridge, and it Was only at the last moment, as I reach- ed the head of the ladder, that I paused, as though‘ struck with an after-thought, and told the man who was minding the side to go and turn out Enrimira'z. the stoxvaway, “I’ll take him along-as an inter- preter,” I said. ' _ Waiting at the ladderâ€"hea'd, I was glad to see that the unexpected stoppage of theengines had caused no alarm. The ship from stem to stern was wrapped in the stillness of night, and except for a few figuresâ€" those of the watch~â€"diinly seen for- ward, the long expanse of deck was deserted. In my own room the lamlp was burning, but the windows of all the other deck-houses were dark, in- cluding that of Zavertal, who was sometimes a late sitter. In less than two fflinutes I saw my messenger returning alone. “The Spaniard is not. in his bunk, sir, or anywhere else in the steward’s quar- ters," he Said. “The others know nothing of him, except that he turn- ed in at the usual time and ought to be in bed.” Under the circumstances this was not only startling, but embarrassing, for I had run into Barcelona for no other reason than to put the stow- away ashore, and there was the boat ready and waiting below. 'In addi- tion, the fellow’s absence from his bed in the middle of the night seem- ed to lend color to the vague im- putation that he was up to no good on board. I was rapidly debating what was best to be done, when my messenger enclaimed,â€"â€" "Beg pardon, sir, but there is the man, sir, coming out of the sur~ gory.” It Was true enough. a bcat Enriquez Was On seeing us he made a motion as though to That Tells of Approaching Pneumonia or tor-Ions Lung Troubieâ€" Prevent Funnier Trouble by llsing Br. chases syrup of Linseed and Turpentine. .

Mr. Jolm Clark, coachman, Port Hope, Ont., writes: “Being expos- ed to all sorts of weather I fre- quently catch cold. Last winter I was so bad with a cold I could not speak above a whisper, and had great pains in the chest. At last I feared it would develop into con- euinlption if I di-d not succeed in get- ting proper treatment. "A friend advised me to try Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Tur- pentine, and I began to improve beâ€" lfore I had taken half a bottle. One bottle cured my cold, which, I be- lieve, would have. proven very seri- thought she was going to leave the world as her case resisted the doc- tors’ treatment.

After the first two or three doses t'he child began to get better, and we are thankful to say is all right to-day after sev- en weeks’ sickness.” As a prompt cure for croup, bron- chitis, whooping cough, asthma, and all throat and lung affections, Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Tur- pentine is wonderfully effective.

Yet there was a certain hesitation in his man- ner of obeying. He went slowly to the ship's side, casting furtive glances along- tlie deck, and once half turning as if to expostulate or refuse. However, I kept close behind him, letting him see that he had got to go, and he Went. Following him down the ladder, I took the tiller, and the boa't was soon speeding across the smooth water of the har- bor. I had prepared an envelope containing a blank sheet of paper, and as soon as we reached the land- ing steps I gave it and an English sovereign to Enriquez, who had sat. silently scowling in the bows. My idea was that if I was doing the man an injustice the money would be useful in taking him to. his own place, while in the meanwhile it would help to sustain the fiction I meant to employ. "Go telegraph office. Send quick- ly. Then come back here,” I said, choosing words that would be most readily intelligible to‘ a foreigner. If he had suspicions on the ship I think my manner must have allayed them now, for he put out his hand for the envelope and the sovereign, and went up the steps on to the quay. The moment he had disap- peared I gave the word to row back to the steamer. “It’s all right, my lads,” I said, in answer to the honest wonder ex- pressed on the faces of the men as' they bent their backs to the oars. “The Stowaway is going to get left, that’s all. We don't want that kind of cattle on the ship.” “I-Ie don’t take'kindly to it, Cap- tain," replied one of the men. “Whew, look out ! IIe's going, to shoot l” _ ‘i-e were half a dozen boats’ lengths from the quay, and, glanc- ing back, I saw the dark form of Enriquez outlined at the top of the landing-step. There was a flickering gas-lampiaehind him which showed up the glint of a pistol that he held levelled at the boat. Even as We looked, every second expecting the crash of a bullet in our midst, he thought better of it and lowered the weapon, to hurl after me instead a cry of angry menace. . “Next time, Forrester-â€"ncxt time," he shouted. “This is the worst night’s work you ever did for your- self.” All around was calm and still, and his words rang sharp across the water. They were spoken in excel- lent English, and in a voice I could have sworn I‘ had heard before- where, I racked my brains all the way back to the steamer to remem- ber. CHAPTER X. When the boat reached the steam- er's side day was breaking, and I was not sorry to see Zavertal leanâ€" ing over the rail Watching our ap- proach. I had missed the point at the time, but it had since struck me as curious that there should have been no light in the doctor’s cabin if the stowaway’s story of having gone there for medical relief were true. The needful remedies could hardly have been found and disâ€" pensed in the dark, and I had_ be- gun to fear that the man’s “sceck- ness” was only an excuse covering some sinister design of which per- haps Zavertal himself was the vic- tiin. While striving in vain to recall where I had previously heard the stowawoy’s familiar voice, I had re~ preached myself for not ascertaining whether the doctor was all right b0- fore I left the ship, and the sight of him there, peering down at us throngh the gloom, was a relief. ' As soon as I had mounted to the deck he advanced to meet me with a look of undisguised inquiry, and I noticed that in the grey dawnlight his face looked singularly puckered and old. “There is nothing wrong, sir, I hope-to cause this deviation from our programme '2” he said, rather stilily for him. _ “Oh, dear no,” I replied ; “I merely ran into Barcelona to send a private telegram. I thought it a good opportunity, too, to get rid of the stowaway.” Having found Za- vertal safe and sound, the thought flashed across me that as he was not a victim of Enriquez he 'might be a partner with him in something underhand, and that in any case it would be more discreet to say no- thing for the present of having seen the man leave the surgery, or of his sudden proficiency in English. I watched the doctor narrowly for any sign of satisfaction or the re- verse at the news, but he yielded none-did not even evince'any in~ terest. . “That was just as well, I dare say,” was his careless reply, and then he went on to say,â€"- “I am rather glad you have touched here, for it. will give me an opportunity of procuring some drugs of which I have run short. I sup- ibut rang in response to his signal, and I had already begun -t.0 mount the bridge-ladder to personally con the ship out of the harbor before Za- vertal grasped that there was no Then he sprang forwurd and took steps up the ladder after me, his face quiver- had appeal from my decision. ing as he hissed in a tone I never heard him use before,- “You are not doing well by your- have exceeded your instructions to defer self, Captain Forrester. You to me in matters of this kind. It is you who will suffer. "Go to your cabin, sir, and be~ have yourself, or I will land you at Genoa,” I said sternly. “You seem to forget that I command this ship.” He slunk aWay, scOWling' and I went to my duty feeling that I had rather scored than otherwise by provoking this exhibition of temper on his part. The intense irritation into which my refusal had betrayed .him suggested that there was some stronger motive for his wishing to go ashore than the replenishment of his medicine-chest, and if there was a secret motive I was glad to have thwarted him. At the same time a feeling of uneasiness that there was some mystery on the ship 'with which I could not cope because I was ignorant of its nature, grew upon me, and 1‘ longed for my un- known correspondent to reveal him- self. The indications that his ad- vice had not been altogether uncall- ed-for implanted in me a reliance in his judgment, and I should have lik- ed to have further availed myself of it. ' (To Be Continued.) _______+_____ HOVJ TO MAKE BABY SLEEP. You can make baby sleep by giv- ing [him laudanum or the “sooth- ing” stuffs which invariably con- tain opiates. But no sensible n10- ther will do that. The way to make baby sleep happily and in com- fort is to take away the causeof his wakefulness. This cause is located in his little inside -â€" nowhere else. Babies seldom have anything the matter with them but their stom- achs, and it is safe to say that the baby who cries unseasonably is com- plaining of his stomach. There is no ailment of a baby’s stomach that Baby’s Own Tablets will not cure right away. They make baby cheer- ful and happy and give him sound natural sleepâ€"not the drugged sleep produced by soothing stuffs. Mrs. Wm. Sinidt, Listowell, Ont., says: “My baby used to be very ‘restless and sleepless, but since giving him Baby's Own Tablets, he is better natured, sleeps better and is better in every way.” Those Tablets cure all the minor ailments of little ones, and can be given to the very young- est baby. You can get them from any druggist, or they will be sent post paid at 25 cents a box by writing direct to the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. ' .___â€"-¢_____ POLNTED PARAG RAPIIS .

Karloff, you can tell a criminal by tlie color of his eyes. Murderers and thieves have maroon or i'eddiszh brown eyes, tramps light blue, and so forth. M. Karloff has classified eyes into fa- milies and has 'draWn up rules which he declares to be infallible. Hlonest folk have dark gray or blue eyes. narrow-chested men and women have been made sound, healthy and happy by the use of Dr. Williams’ Pinil Pills â€" and they will do the same for you. Mrs. J.

The best of doctors and many dilllerent kin'ds of medicine failed to help me, and my friends all thought I was go- ing into rapid’consumption.

The Paris newspapers have lately printed the account of a strange lawsjuit. The complainant in the case testified that he was ‘dining on the terrace in front of a restaulrant, enjoying the air as well as the food. He had just begun to eat his soup, which he found too hot for his pal- ate. \Vln'le waiting for the soup to . cool, he took from his pocket a roll of bills which he had ‘received in payment of a bill.‘ 1n counting the money he acci- dentally dropped a hundred-franc bank note into his so'up. He took it out of his plate with a fork, ansd sent the soup away. The bank note was saturated with the greasy liqui'd and he laid it down on the table- cloth to dry. I-Ie was partaking of the second course, when a sudden gust of wind blew the note off the table. He ran after it, but a dog, which, although it wore a collar, and therefore in all probability had a home, yet slhaow- ed every sign of hjunger, seized it. The taste of the soup on the paper made it palatable, and the dog swallowed the note in an instant. The complainant used all his per- suasive. power in an effort to get the dog to came near him. “Good doggy! Come here!” he coaxed. The animal, pleased with the taste of the soup, was finally toled iear enough for the complainant to read the name engraved on the collar. When he had made a note of the name and address of the owner of the dog, lie dismissed him with a Scotch blessing. Then lie sought his law- yer, and brought; s'uit against the owner of the dog for the restitution of the hfunldred francs. . The court decided that the owner' ofthe (10g must pay, holding thatf since the dog was property, the own- er must be held responsible for any. act committed by the animal. l l +-~-_- s ROYAL SCHOOLBOYS. Ilritain is rapidly becoming the alma mater of the world, and educa- tion is doing much to let the light of modern civilization into the dark places of the cal tfi. The new Sultan of Zaiictibar, a bright, intelligent‘ youth, received his education at llari'ow. Ilis English eilUCation will do ,m'ui'rh ‘for his country â€" a land enwrapped in mystery, and guarded by the barriers of exclusive- ness. King Lewa'nika of llarotsc- land was one of the. mos-t savage anld cruel monarchs on earth only a few years ago, but he is now instituting 'inany reforms, and has sent his two sons to be educated at Gondhmrst. Kent. The heir to the throne of Siam. was educated at Oxford, and is an accomplished 'lingmist. The . commercial advancement of ~Peru is doubtless largely due to the fact that the President is a graduate of a Lonldon school. The heirs to many of tlze sz'n-aller European thrones received liberal educations in England, and the potental'cs of Inidia are sending their sons to "the tigh't little isle" to be trained and educated.
